Winging It

I just love WindPro. Not only is it breathable and makes a great moisture barrier.
It also has this grippy quality to it that makes it stay well and not slide.
It's also fun and easy to work with since it does not fray and does not require hemming.

Here are a few things YOU can do to alter your pads wing configuration - all is easy to do thanks to WindPro's awesome qualities.

Does your love of boyshort undies interfere with your love for Domino Pads? Or do you find the length of our petite sized pads perfect but need a wider crotch area?
We got a solution for you! Simply snap in one of our extenders!

Does your faith/climate/interests/sport require your to wear underwear with long legs?
You can also easily convert your existing Domino Pads to WINGLESS. The grippy nature of the Domino Pads material and hourglass shape work well in wingless as well as long as your undergarments are not too loose fitting.

March Giveaway!

Lets see your favorite Domino Pads product!

For the month of March I am in the mood for something interactive. So...
please post your favorite Domino Pads product picture to our Facebook page!

It can be a creative shot that shows where you are (i.e. a Quince Pad in front of the Alamo!) or just some nursing pads on a table. No guidelines or requirements other than your favorite product has to be made or sold by Domino Pads. :)

If you are not on Facebook you can still submit your entry via email (please keep the file small below 100kb) to karin@dominopads.com

Winners will be drawn end of March. The prizes will be Gift Certificates in the amounts of $30, $20 and $10. :)

Have fun!

Vacation Notice

The Domino Pads Shop will go on vacation from December 26th to 31st. During this time the online store will remain OPEN, however I will take a little break from making pads.
That means that the usual '10 days or less' turnaround time will change to '15 days or less'.
To make up for this delay I am offering a 10% off coupon code for this time period. It is 'winterbreak'.
Enjoy!

New Butterfly Bamboo Pads Now Available

We have added our new hand stamped butterfly bamboo pads to the drop down menu in our individual hand dyed bamboo pad section.
While they are not available in the package deal section, quantity discounts such as stash discounts still apply.
Enjoy!

Sorry -not available in Quince Pads and due to the size of the pattern not suggested for thong liners.

Want To Be A Part Of It?

Do you own Domino Pads?
Do you have a video camera (phone or web camera is fine too of course!)?
Has your wash routine been satisfactory to you and your pads are still looking great?
Would you like to be in one of our next Domino Pads video productions?

We are looking for participants in a Domino Pads video about care of the pads.

As we have seen in our previous discussion lots of different people take care of their pads in lots of different ways. And best of all:
It all works!

So for the care video I would love to feature short clips from actual Domino Pads users on how they keep their pads looking like new.

How short of a clip? We'd like to know:
- are you washing them separate or with something else? (diapers, etc.)
- do you soak them or use a cold rinse?
- what temperature are you washing them at?
- how long have you owned your pads?
- are you doing anything special you'd like to mention or share any special tips?

Interested but no idea what to expect of a Domino Pads video? You can see our previous video here.

So what are you waiting for? Featured participants will also receive a small surprise for their efforts. And fame of course! ;)

If you are planning on participating please give me a heads up via email so I can start planning for how many prizes I will need!

Are You Traveling Without A Spare?

I remember when I still used disposable products I always had a tampon in my purse.
Especially when you don't use hormone based birth control it's often hard to predict the specific day your period will start.
After switching to cloth a few years ago I stopped carrying that spare tampon.
I am not sure why. I do remember being caught without protection somewhere away from home. Annoying! Uncomfortable! Embarrassing :(
And so after several years of this I had the brilliant idea to carry spares again!
I have an extra cup in the glove compartment in my car* and I carry an extra pad in a pad envelop in my purse. So nice to know that wherever I go, I have what I need. :)

For pad envelops and other storage solutions, please see our store:
Batik Wetbags and Pad Envelops
To find the perfect color for your spare cup see here:
Lunette Cups and Accessories

*in regards to concerns about exposing the Lunette and other silicone cups to extreme temperatures I got the following response from Lunette:
our Lunette is made of the highest possible medical-grade silicone that can handle extreme temperatures. It has to, because it comes from Finland. And our winters are freezing!
It can also handle hot temperatures just fine. So you can store your Lunette in your car, don´t worry.
